WHERE: WHERE integrates several widgets advised to acknowledgment any catechism that starts with its name. Where's the abutting coffee shop? Where's the abutting gas station? But it's added adjustable than that, able to acknowledgment some questions that alpha with "what," as in "what's the cartage on I-95 like?" Hell, it can even do some "whens," like "when is Fantastic Mr. Fox playing?" It's got Yelp, YellowPages, Starbucks and more. Free
Evernote: Evernote is arguably the best note-taking app on every belvedere on which it appears (iPhone, Android) and on Pre it's about as good. For some acumen the Pre adaptation lacks articulation notes, but it's still what I use for grocery lists. Free
Pandora: It's Pandora. It's great. Especially capital on the Pre, which has a simple 8GB of non-expandable memory. Free
Fandango: Another one that you apparently already know, Fandango's the best movie-finding app on WebOS. It saves adjacent or admired theaters, uses GPS to acquisition those closest, lets you watch trailers—it's aggregate you'd wish in a cine app. Free
Twee: I had a harder time chief amid Twee and Tweed for the appellation of Palm Pre Twitter Champ, but absitively on Twee for two reasons. First, I like its story—it was a jailbreak app first, and muscled its way into the App Catalog on arduous appetite and pluck. Second, it offers a chargeless version, which is the one I in fact use. Tweed has a added accepted (read: prettier) interface, but I'm not abiding that's account three bucks if TweeFree is absolutely competent. Free
NYTimes: An capital for any smartphone platform, the Pre's NYTimes app avalanche in amid the iPhone's and Android's in quality. It's beneath buggy and better-looking than Android's, but its abate awning and hardly slower achievement gives iPhone the edge. Regardless, it's a abundant app for the greatest account aperture in the country, and lets you feel abreast even admitting you're just bribery account while sitting on the toilet. Free
TasteSpotting Today: TasteSpotting is my admired aliment website, but the things that accomplish it abundant (huge and consistently adapted selection, links to alien websites, abundant photography) aswell accomplish it a cephalalgia to apprehend on a adaptable device. But TasteSpotting Today puts the massive amounts of advice in an easy-to-read format. Abundant for anyone who brand food. $1
Tea Timer: Honestly, I don't absolutely like tea. I can never get it to aftertaste like abundant besides tea-flavored hot water, and, you know, I consistently feel like could be bubbler coffee instead. But I accept to say, Tea Timer, which provides exact steeping times for a huge array of tea types (as able-bodied as a admission timer), did aftereffect in the best cup of loose-leaf Rooibos I've anytime had. Still tasted like tea-flavored water, but it was the best tea-flavored baptize I've anytime made. Way to go, Tea Timer. $1
Topple Ball: The Pre's absolutely defective in amateur compared to the iPhone, but Topple Ball is the absolute waiting-for-a-bus game. It's affectionate of like that angry bewilderment bold Labyrinth, but with obstacles like bumpers, launchers and teleporters to accommodate added challenge. Decidedly tough, but my go-to timewaster. $2, chargeless adaptation available
Stitcher: As with Pandora, it's important to accept a antecedent of alive media to accomplish up for the Pre's bloodless storage, and Stitcher is my admired podcast app on the platform. It's sleek, adequately full-featured, streams quickly, and has an easy-to-use interface. Free
Scoop: Scoop is my aces for best RSS clairvoyant on the Pre, due to its solid affiliation with Google Reader. Feeds is the added frontrunner, but it's 5 times added big-ticket and you absolutely aren't accepting added for your money. $1
Open Table: Open Table is a abundant (albeit sometimes limited) way to assets tables at restaurants after accepting to, like, allocution to a animal being. It's absolutely able in above burghal areas like NYC and SF, although in my burghal Pennsylvania hometown I was bigger off application Bark and calling the restaurants. Free
Accuweather: Tells you the weather. Free
Dealert: Advance deals from a array of online accord purveyors, like SlickDeals, DealNews and FatWallet. That's provided you charge some added antecedent of deals above our own Gadget Deals of the Day, abominable admitting that may be. $2
Yelp: The premiere antecedent for sometimes-corrupt listings of restaurants and bounded businesses. Charge pan-Asian-Ethiopian admixture aliment appropriate now, in the average of Little Italy? Yelp's got your back. Free
JogStats: If you're one of those weirdos who brand jogging even if there's a altogether nice couch you could be sitting on, JogStats is the best active abettor on WebOS. It advance your distance, speed, calories, altitude, all that being that makes me beat just accounting it. $5
Classic: For the guy who just can't let go to the past, this abnormally third-party app recreates the archetypal Palm OS on your Pre or Pixi, complete with basic buttons, and will run any Palm OS app. Free
GDial: The Palm Pre's Google Articulation app is abuse good—in John Herrman's words, "The Pre handles Google Articulation about as able-bodied as Android, and acutely way bigger than the iPhone." Free
Crosswords: It ain't from Will Shortz, but the Pre's Crosswords app is decidedly excellent. Clever puzzles, huge selection, with a ambit of claiming from Monday to Saturday (there's a little crossword amusement for you). Seems expensive, but if you're into crossword puzzles, this could beggarly dozens of hours of entertainment. Or, if you're like me, hundreds of hours. $10
Media Remote: A adaptation of Apple's actual aboriginal iPhone app, Remote, Media Remote takes the abstraction to the next akin by absolution you ascendancy several altered programs on a Windows PC—WMP, iTunes, MediaMonkey, VLC and XBMC. Pre alone (since the Pixi has no Wi-Fi) and yeah, Windows alone is lame, but I use this app all the time to ascendancy my XBMC-running media centermost and it works great. Free
